The Ebor tomorrow

Prospect Wells 25/1 E/W

Bought as a hurdles horse in 2009 and will go jumping after this race had its problems (nearly died after being gelded) which meant a big delay to its hurdles debut and means its lighly raced for a 5yo, only two years ago won Group 2 in France for Fabre and also finished 2nd in a Group 1 running to a mark of 118, came back after 412 days off track to win a Class 1 race over Nanton on ground which it wouldn't have liked, they took it out of the John Smith's Cup because they wanted to wait for the ground to give abit

Darley Sun 20/1 E/W

Won the Cesarewitch easily last year then moved to Godolphin 3rd in its first start in a Group 2 ahead of Illustrious Blue who went close in a Class 1 and then won a Group 2 since and just behind Saptapadi who was 3 lengths behind Sans Frontieres at the weekend, was well out of it in the Gold Cup like many but could be in with a shout if progressing with Godolphin finding some form.

Having my first bet of the day on Rewilding. If I backed Midas Touch, it would be purely be down the the stable. So I haven't. Connections of Rewilding are adamant he will be seen at his best on a track such as this.


Very impressive. This horse has some gears and showed no signs of stopping.

What a competitive International this looks. May have to swerve it!

Didn't part with any money on the race but thought Twice Over had done it!

Re: More betting chat.... : Tue Aug 17, 2010 3:08 pm  

Had a cracking day with 3 winners out of 4!

Had Ted Spread managed to sneak 3rd instead of 4th I would have been collecting a fair bit more...kicking myself that I didn't put Rewilding in, but thought Ted Spread was good value...

Didn't get to post my picks up on here but anyone doubting can see my selections if they follow the racing forum on facebook.

They said on the tele the highest it was matched at on the exchanges in running was 64/1 (ouch!) Twice Over was matched as low as 1/5, again (ouch!)
